Description
As a Third Party Survey Provider HVA has designed a unique, HIPPA compliant, member based Social/Advocacy web platform to carry out our mission.
It allows Members to regain a portion of the camaraderie they lost at separation as they chat with their peers on the timeline and meet at a variety of online and in-person events hosted by HVA, the VA and regional VSOs.
Members are encouraged to:
-Vote in their VA Clinic's 'How Was Your Day at the VA? poll
-Give an 'Atta-boy to their Clinic, or employee
-Discuss healthcare problems with others of the same clinic in HIPPA compliant forums
-Respond to online surveys co-developed with the VA
-Request advocacy under the Member Initiated Reporting Process (MIRP)
Prototype websites can be found at HandicappedVets.org and HVASocial.org
